Umm Progress.!!!

I guess we are a week ahead of where we should be as the blocks are all laid on flat, they did not need much time to settle. The rooms are nearly all filled now with a 2to4" stone compacted and wacked and then a 2" fine stone compacted and wacked and finished with a fine limestone dusting which will prevent any damage to the radon barrier. I was out there saturday with the tracks machine and we filled the base to within 18" of the floor level, the lads are due to put down radon sumps and pipes and drainage pipes today.
My father is laying the blocks to the garage we were short 450 blocks so had those delivered this morning. Hopefully he can finish this today and it will allow us to fill it; and concrete the floors the same day as the house, and we will only have to hire the powerfloat for the one day and we can off hire the wacker also!

Subsoil is being removed everday currently 22 loads gone and plenty more to go!

I also finished off the final touches to the post and rail fencing i put on 13 no 12" pigtails with the white horse tape running through them as the landowner is keen to get his horses in!

Hoping to pour the floors on Wednesday weather dependant!!!

I took plenty photos on Saturday will post them tommorow!

Alll in All progress is going good; apart from todays foray to the coursing in clonmel by one of the blocklayers! You know who you are!!! (",)
